It's one thing to struggle with coming up with gifts for birthdays, the holidays, Mother's/Father's Day, etc, but what about those times that you want to send a gift... just to send a gift?

Aren't there times that you want to give your child or grandchild or niece or nephew or best-friend's-son-who-you've-known-since-birth-so-he-seems-like-a-relative something to make them smile? Or just to celebrate that the long, tedious winter has finally ended and that it's time to enjoy all the fun that spring and summer have to offer?

Whether the child in your life is near or far, you can spend time driving to multiple stores, searching for a collection of entertaining items, putting them together into a box, paying for the postage to mail it... you get the picture. Or, a much faster and easier way to show you're thinking about them is to send them a care package from GourmetGiftBaskets.com.

Offering everything from an Exam Cram Care Package to help fuel your college student through finals week to a Deluxe Glow in the Dark Care Package for fun with the lights off or after the sun has gone down, GourmetGiftBaskets.com has a unique option that would surely be a happy surprise for just about anyone.

You'd have thought it was Christmas morning due to how excited Big Sister E and Little Sister B were as we opened up our Care Package and began to examine all of the items that were sure to provide them limitless entertainment.

After we had finished unpacking, we surveyed the results: a plastic Frisbee, mini squirt guns, rubber band bracelets, two pairs of swim goggles, an inflatable Bumple Ball, a glider airplane, temporary tattoos, bubbles and wand, rainbow yo-yo, rubber playground ball, tie dye beach ball, football with tail, G2 football, glow in the dark bracelets and glow bars for some after dark fun!

Whew! The girls couldn't wait to dig right in and, even though there was still snow on the ground so they weren't able to get outdoors and enjoy the excitement of summer quite yet, they were still more than happy to try each item out inside for the time being.

We did notice that the description of the items included in the Deluxe Summer Fun Camp Care Package ended up being slightly different than what arrived, but GourmetGiftBaskets.com has very prompt customer service that let me know that a few of the items are now out of stock, which is why we received our variation.

And did the kids mind? Not in the slightest!

With gift and fruit baskets for every occasion, GourmetGiftBaskets.com has a handmade item filled with critically acclaimed gourmet foods that will suit everyone's tastes. And now they also have the accompanying Care Packages that are perfect for creating arts & crafts, enjoying favorite snacks or getting kids outdoors to create fun summer memories.

The result? GourmetGiftBaskets.com is so sure that you will love all of their products that their gift baskets are backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you aren't completely happy or the recipient of your gesture isn't raving, GourmetGiftBaskets.com will work to make things right or give you your money back. They're just that sure that you're going to love their items!

And, thanks to their generosity, one person will get to surprise the lucky child in their life with something that is sure to get them eager to get outside to play as well, because...
